The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a few new additions on offense this year. Two of them are running back Leonard Fournette and superstar quarterback Tom Brady.
According to Jenna Laine of ESPN on Twitter, Leonard Fournette spoke about his expectations of playing with Brady.
Leonard Fournette has become a Tampa treasure: “Tom’s hard on me. He expects a lot out of me. I expect a LOT out of his ass. He’s a six-time Super Bowl winner” pic.twitter.com/4JrTBu1HTq

In Week 2 the Buccaneers won their first game of the year, defeating the Carolina Panthers 31-17. That game included Leonard Fournette rushing for over 100 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Week 2 went much better for Tampa Bay and Leonard Fournette than Week 1 did.
The first week of the season saw Leonard Fournette carry the ball just five times for five yards. It was part of a disappointing loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Brady did not play well either though. The quarterback threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw an interception as well.
Against the Panthers, things were different though. Brady still only managed 217 yards and one touchdown. However, this time he threw just one interception and had a slightly better completion percentage.
Meanwhile, Leonard Fournette carried the ball 12 times and picked up an incredible 103 yards and two touchdowns. He even had four receptions for 13 yards.
These big games helped lead the Buccaneers to that 31-17 win. And it moved Tampa Bay to a 1-1 record on the year.
Leonard Fournette knows nothing is going to come easy though. He needs to fight for carries and playing time on this team. And he is going to be getting a lot of pressure from his coaching staff.
